Zero Conditional in Romanian grammar is used to talk about general or scientific facts, habits or routines and to express conditions that are always true. It expresses things that always happen under certain conditions and these conditions are real and likely to occur in the present or future. An example of a zero conditional would be “If it rains, the grass gets wet”. Now let’s practice using this form of grammar!
